Listing Details: First built in 1924, the Balboa Theater was a grand 1920s movie palace with a seating capacity of 1,600. Later the theater was converted to housing for the Navy during World War II, and now its historic grandeur can still be enjoyed through public tours and performances. An old-fashioned theater in the middle of the city, the Balboa Theater combines old-world glamour with new-world acts. With plush red seats, the theater offers an opulent and refined space to enjoy some of San Diego’s local artists and visiting performances. Parking is hardly a problem when Horton Plaza is within easy walking distance, and you can enjoy 3 hours of free parking just by getting your ticket validated.
